2022 The Keller Scholarship in Conservation Horticulture
Growing Gold: Ecology, Conservation, and Sustainable Management of the Medicinal Forest Herb Goldenseal through Forest Horticulture
White’s research will focus on the ecology of naturally occurring goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), an at-risk medicinal plant in Appalachian forests. Field studies in Ohio and Kentucky will establish conservation protocols for sustainable use and propagation in natural forest settings. White’s collaboration with Missouri Botanic Garden will provide insight into goldenseal by comparing past methodology to current, novel forest-horticulture techniques.
